high official

Chapter 1068

After nightfall in Xiyuan, the gates of the palace were naturally closed, but this couldn't stop Eunuch Zhao, who was in full swing. His subordinates showed his token, and the eunuch who guarded the gate obediently let him go.He also graciously sent Zhao Ying's sedan chair out of the palace gate, and flattered him: "When will the ancestor return, my child will leave the door for you."

"I'm in trouble, father-in-law, we'll be back in an hour or two." Zhao Ying left behind a sentence, and rushed to Zhao Wang's mansion, Huang He naturally followed behind in a sedan chair.

In Zhao Wang's mansion, Zhu Gaosui and others were anxiously waiting for Zhao Ying's arrival. Upon hearing the notification, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang personally came to the door to greet him, and said affectionately: "Elder-in-law can be counted...he is here." Zhao Wang's voice obviously paused, Because he saw that Huang He was still following behind.

"Eunuch Huang said that he had something important to report to the lord, so our family brought him along." Zhao Ying explained blankly.

"Why, doesn't the lord welcome the old slave?" Huang He looked at Zhao Wang with some resentment.Zhao Wang has been friends with him for many years, and it is almost time to change posts to ask for help, but when he gets into trouble, Zhao Wang acts like he doesn't know his name, let alone lending a helping hand, he doesn't even ask .

"Where is it?" King Zhao forced a smile and said, "I just didn't expect that father-in-law could come with me."

"Our family feels that it is of some use to the prince, otherwise we wouldn't bother to blame it." Huang He said with a smile on his face.

"Everyone gathers firewood and the flames are high!" Zhao Wang put on a hearty smile, holding Huang He's arm, as if he had never had any problems: "Old Huang, you can come, this king is so happy."

"The prince still has old slaves in his eyes, so our family will be satisfied." Huang He went in with a smile, and when someone offered his seat, he sat down unceremoniously. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he cleared his throat and said: " My lord, have you ever wondered why Eunuch Zheng dared to confront you openly, and even transferred the warrior battalion secretly into the palace tonight and hid it in the tunnel in the palace."

"What?" King Zhao was taken aback when he heard the words: "The Warriors' Battalion has entered the palace, this king doesn't know that?"

"That's true." Zhao Ying nodded, confirming Huang He's statement: "Zheng He asked the warrior battalion to wear the uniform of Habayashi Youwei, pretending to be a normal defense, and entered Xiyuan at night. If the old slave hadn't been watching If you go to the bedroom, I'm afraid he will also hide it from you."

"What does Zheng He want to do?! Can a mere grandson give him such boldness?!" Zhao Wang gasped, looked at Huang He and said, "Please teach me, my father-in-law."

Everyone also looked at Huang He in unison, which made Huang He feel the long-lost feeling of being respected, took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Zheng He doesn't have the guts, the emperor is instigating him!"

"Could it be that the emperor left him a decree?" Zhao Wang's eyes flickered, and he obviously wanted to control the situation, so he declared that Zheng He was a false edict...

"I don't know if the emperor has given Zheng He's orders or not, this old servant doesn't know." Huang He made a fuss until he felt that everyone was going to be suffocated, and then said word by word: "This old servant only knows that the emperor has woken up."

"What?!" As if struck by lightning, everyone present was dumbfounded, so frightened that they forgot to breathe.

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Meng Xian jumped up like a cat whose tail was trampled on, pointed at Huang He and cursed: "The old emperor can't wake up anymore. This is confirmed by the prince and Eunuch Zhao repeatedly. Could it be? Can there be a fake?!"

"Shut up!" Zhao Ying yelled, not to let Meng Xian continue to make noise, looked at Huang He coldly and said, "Eunuch Huang has not been with the emperor for a long time, how do you know?" He was always suspicious, if Huang He If it is true, all doubts will be answered.

"So that Godfather knows that my son has served the emperor for ten years, and every eunuch and maid in the palace has been carefully selected by my son." Huang He looked at King Zhao, retracted his eyes and said: "So there are some things , my son knows that Eunuch Yang may not know." Eunuch Yang is the eunuch Yang who temporarily took over Huang He's position.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Ying asked in a cold voice, and all the people below King Zhao held their breaths, waiting for his answer.

"For example, the emperor has been awake for almost a month, but the emperor still pretends to be unconscious except in front of Zheng He." Huang He said with a little complacency: "For example, before the three bachelors entered the palace, the emperor asked Zheng He The golden seal was placed in a conspicuous place, and in order for the three of them to steal it, he was asked to open the lid of the box."

"..." Zhao Ying, Zhao Wang and others were horrified when they heard this. If what Huang He said was true, then wouldn't the emperor's acquiescence in the intention of recruiting the grandson to Beijing?I and others yelled at Zheng He in front of the emperor's bed, wouldn't they have seen the emperor's eyes?
King Zhao and Zhao Ying were sweating profusely, and the former asked tremblingly, "Eunuch Huang, how did you know these things?"

"So that the lord knows that although Eunuch Zheng stays by the emperor's side every step of the way, he always has to urinate and sleep, and he can't serve the emperor alone." Huang He said lightly: "So Eunuch Zheng found someone who he thought he could trust. Little eunuch, keep this secret with him, but that little eunuch is our godson."

"This is really God's blessing!" Zhao Wang took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said with fear on his face: "If Eunuch Huang hadn't brought this news, we would definitely have made a mistake!"

Zhao Ying nodded and asked Huang He: "Then did the emperor say anything to the grandson today?"

"This is where the old slave must report to the lord overnight—" Huang He straightened up and said with a serious expression: "The emperor wants his grandson to take over the throne, and he will announce it after dawn!"

"What?!" King Zhao stood up in shock. Suddenly, the window was as bright as day, and there was a loud click, and the rainstorm that had accumulated for a long time finally poured down.

"The emperor wants his grandson to take over the throne, and he will announce it at dawn!" After the thunder, Huang He repeated again in a deep voice.

Zhao Wang only felt that this news was more frightening than the nine-day thunder, so he sat down and said: "Could it be that it's just a dream?!"

Meng Xian and the others were also dumbstruck, too shocked by the news to speak.If Zhu Di is really sober, has drawn up a plan, and mobilized the army, then no matter how he struggles, he will hit the stone with an egg and kill himself!

That is the supreme emperor who has dominated the world for 20 years. As long as he opens his eyes, no one will dare to make trouble, not to mention that he is still prepared...

"What should we do?" Qian Yi lost his voice: "It's the third quarter of Xu o'clock, and there are still four o'clock in the morning, and it's the morning court!" Once the morning court announces the decree, everything will not be changed.

Fear spread in everyone's heart. They seemed to see the tragic situation they would face after the grandson ascended the throne to counterattack and reckon...

"What else can I do?!" The old eunuch Zhao Ying said fiercely, "I can only put all my eggs in one basket and fight it out. The result is nothing more than winning or losing!" Knowing that Zhu Di had woken up, he felt at ease.The most worrying thing is not knowing the details of the opponent. Now that the opponent's hole cards are known, there is nothing to worry about!

"Hmm." Seeing the hesitation on King Zhao's face, Huang He said again: "I still have something to report. I know the mechanism of the secret way in the bedroom..." After a pause, He said quietly: "If the lord and godfather can make up their minds, our family can destroy the mechanism and keep all the three thousand warriors battalion inside."

"Oh?!" Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the words, but they never expected that Huang He was still hiding this trick.But it's normal to think about it, he has wandered around the bedroom for so many years, and he can't hide any secrets from him!

"My lord!" Meng Xian and the others turned to King Zhao in unison, as if grasping at a straw, and said with a ferocious expression, "This is really God helping me! Let's act tonight!"

Tomorrow morning, once the decree is announced, everything will be over...

Zhu Gaosui sat down on the chair, rubbing his hands subconsciously on the armrests, showing his extreme inner struggle.The lightning outside the window was accompanied by thunder, making his face pale!
"My lord! Don't hesitate anymore!" Seeing him silent for a long time, after the thunder, Meng Xian said loudly: "It's already the three quarters of Xu o'clock, and it will be midnight soon! Let's hurry up!"

"It's too hasty, our army is not in place yet." Amidst the crackling rain, Zhu Gaosui said solemnly: "If you act rashly, the chances of winning are not great!"

"No one expected that we will act tonight!" The old eunuch Zhao Ying said quietly: "Our two guards have not been transferred to the imperial city, and Zheng He's army is also outside the palace. The emperor can rely on nothing but The guards in the palace are nothing more than the battalion of three thousand warriors, as long as Huang He can really trap them in the secret passage, the chances of winning tonight are better than tomorrow!"

"What the father-in-law said is true!" Everyone nodded after hearing the words, and their expressions were much more excited.What Zhao Ying said was right. It was already Xu time, and everyone believed that they would not act tonight. Although the action was hasty at this time, the enemy would be even more hasty.The unexpected effect will be perfect!
"That's right, my lord," Peng Xu also said harshly, "In order to deceive others, Zheng He only mobilized the warrior battalion, and now the palace is empty of troops! With my Habayashi Qianwei and General Meng's Changshan Zhongwei, there are enough troops!"

"Hmm..." Zhao Wang nodded, stood up, pacing with his hands behind his back, his expression changing violently.

"My lord! Don't let it stop, but let it mess you up!"

"My lord, make up your mind quickly, there is no time!" All the generals were full of anxiety, their eyes followed Zhao Wang back and forth, and they tried to persuade.

'Crack', after a deafening thunder, Zhao Wang finally stopped, his handsome face was reflected by the lightning, and his expression was extremely ferocious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Let's do it tonight!"

"My lord is wise!" Seeing that he had finally made up his mind, everyone was overjoyed.

Time was running out, King Zhao couldn't take care of everyone's face, he adjusted the plan arbitrarily and reassigned tasks.

All the generals also know that whether they will go to heaven or hell in the future depends entirely on this night!Naturally, there was no complaint, and everyone obeyed orders generously.
